Community Based Clinical Therapist

The Community Based Clinical Therapist is committed to empowering youth and families by creating strength-based behavior change that will be sustained long after treatment ends. Therapists will work in close collaboration with all involved to address the needs of youth who engage in problematic and criminal behaviors and, in some cases, substance abuse.
Therapists will empower families to address problematic behaviors and to help their youth ages 12 - 17 make life-transforming changes. Treatment progress is made through intensive interventions such as changing unhelpful family interactions, addressing the youth’s problems with peers and in school, and increasing social support, etc.
